PhD

My PhD thesis is about pseudo-medicine and data science: study of the effects of learning machines on the spread of health misinformation.

This project studies the consequences of AI systems and data science on public discourse, as well as their usage by the new content providers on the Web. It will tackle the ethical aspects of learning algorithms and recommendation filters implemented by Internet companies to select and present content to the user. Specifically, the project investigates the consequences of such algorithms on public health, especially in the propagation of medical misinformation and pseudomedicine.

This project aims at taking a critical oversight on data science techniques and their use. Various knowledge from different fields of humanities and social science will be applied ( ethics, communication studies, philosophy of techniques) and will guide the development of technical solutions, as well as recommendations for the implementation of ethical and sustainable AI. For this reason we will need both technical and philosophical research, working towards interdisciplinary integration.
